On July 14, 1555, Pope Paul IV issued his bull “Cum nimis absurdum,” which subjected the Jews under his dominion to a long list of restrictions and humiliations, most notably the requirement that the Jews of Rome live within a closed area. This became the Rome Ghetto, the mandatory home of the city’s Jews until its abolishment in 1870.

This story is fascinating for a variety of reasons, one especially from a numerical perspective. Today is the 465th anniversary of the day that the Roman Catholic Pope Paul IV issued his infamous papal decree forcing all the Jews of Rome into a ghetto. It is for reasons just like this why we say that the Roman Catholic religion is not Christian, and is not biblical, if it were, the Roman Catholic popes would love the Jews, which clearly they do not. Secondly, let’s take a look at the year 1555.

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Romans 11:25-27 (KJB)

In the bible, 5 is the number of death. Lucifer was the 5th covering cherub, Jesus had 5 bleeding wounds, David had 5 smooth stones to kill Goliath and his 4 brothers, Adam lost his 5th rib to create Eve, and the list goes on and on. But to have a year with triple 5’s and a Roman Catholic pope like Pope Paul IV ordering Jews into a ghetto, that is prophetic. God warned the Jews that, because of their disobedience to Him, they would be “scattered to the four corners” of the world and be trodden down of their enemies. God told them they would be hunted down as the prophet Jeremiah warned.

“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.” Jeremiah 16:16,17 (KJB)

The Jewish people have no bigger enemy than any Roman pope over the last 1,700 years. Pope Paul IV, in a stunning prefiguring of Adolf Hitler, rounded up the Jews and forced them into ghettos. And speaking of Hitler, he was a ‘triple 5’ man as well, take a look.

7 WAYS THAT ADOLF HITLER WAS A PERFECT TYPE OF THE COMING BIBLICAL ANTICHRIST

1555: Roman Catholic Pope Paul IV Orders Jews to Live in a Ghetto

FROM HAARETZ: Pope Paul IV (1476-1559) was an unusually rigid and intolerant pontiff. He had been the leading figure in the establishment of a Roman Inquisition in 1542 (the papal bull that created the Inquisition stated, “Even if my own father were a heretic, I would gather the wood to burn him”), and had overseen the burning of the Talmud in Rome in 1553.

Less than two months after his ascent to the papacy on May 23, 1555, he issued “Cum nimis absurbum” – meaning literally, “Because it is completely senseless ” After those opening words, the proclamation continues: “and inappropriate to be in a situation where Christian piety allows the Jews (whose guilt — all of their own doing — has condemned them to eternal slavery) access to our society and even to live among us” before laying a long and detailed list of restrictions on Jewish life.

The first in the list of rules was one requiring all Jews in any given town to live in a single district, which was to be enclosed with a wall, and locked at night. The Jews were not allowed to own any property in the ghetto, and were permitted to have but a single synagogue for prayer. Any others that existed at the time of the promulgation of the bull were to be destroyed. Jews were obligated to identify themselves with a yellow head-covering. Professionally, they were limited to the rag trade, unless they were trained physicians, in which case they were forbidden from tending to Christians. They were also prohibited from working on Sundays or on Christian feast days, among other restrictions.

The Roman Ghetto was established on the banks of the Tiber river, one of the least desirable sections of the city, if only because of its tendency to flood when the river’s waters rose. The Jews, who had their own dialect, called Giudeo-romanesco, had to finance its construction, which was designed by architect Giovanni Sallustio Peruzzi. Initially, it could be entered or departed by only two gates, although by the time the walls were demolished, in the 19th century, that number had increased to eight. Since the area of the ghetto could not expand, the only way to add living space was to build up, to as high as seven stories. This helped to block the sun, making the ghetto a dark space.

On the positive side, Christian landlords could not evict their Jewish tenants, nor could they raise rents. At the same time, the Jews were required to go through an annual ritual by which they requested permission to reside in the ghetto, a privilege for which they also had to pay a tax. Before that procedure was instituted, the Jews had to participate as performers in an annual carnival of humiliation.

The abolishment of the Roman Ghetto took place over a period of nearly a century, beginning with the brief period in 1798-99 when the Papal States were overtaken by the Italian Republic. Again in the mid-1800s, there was a period when Jews were permitted to live outside the ghetto, but this too was temporary. Finally, in 1882, 12 years after the final abolition of the Papal States, the ghetto, the last remaining one in Europe, was formally abolished and its walls torn down. READ MORE

The Roman Ghetto was established as a result of Papal bull Cum nimis absurdum, promulgated by Pope Paul IV on 14 July 1555. The bull also required the Jews of Rome, which had existed as a community since before Christian times and which numbered about 2,000 at the time, to live in the ghetto. The ghetto was a walled quarter with three gates that were locked at night. The wall was built under the direction of the architect Giovanni Sallustio Peruzzi. The money for its construction — 300 scudi — had to be paid by the Jewish community. The area of Rome chosen for the ghetto was the most undesirable quarter of the city, subject to constant flooding by the Tiber River. At the time of its founding, the four-block area was expected to contain roughly 1,000 inhabitants.

MAGA Pastor Mark Burns Insists That Thursday’s Prayer Ceremony Over The Towering Golden Trump Statue Called ‘Don Colossus’ Was ‘Not Idolatry’

Christian MAGA Pastor Mark Burns Dedicates Towering Golden Trump Statue At Doral While Insisting The Political Graven Image Is ‘Not A Golden Calf’

There it is, standing under the Florida sun at Trump National Doral, a towering golden image of Donald Trump, raised up on a pedestal, unveiled with a public dedication ceremony, and then explained away by a Christian MAGA pastor who had to immediately assure everyone that this was “not a golden calf.” When you have to begin your ceremony by saying “this is not a golden calf,” you have already told us what it looks like. This is total preparation for lost people to be decieved when the man of sin is revealed, and the worship of his image will begin.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)

The statue called “Don Colossus,” reportedly stands 22 feet high including its pedestal, depicts Trump with his fist raised after the Butler assassination attempt, and was dedicated by Pastor Mark Burns at Trump National Doral in Miami. Burns insisted that the statue was not worship, saying it was about honor, resilience, freedom, patriotism, courage, and the hand of God over Trump’s life. My dad used to tell me when I was a kid, “don’t pee on my boots and tell me it’s raining”, and we can certainly apply that here. What do the Roman Catholics say about Mary? “We don’t worship her, we venerate her”. As Doc Ruckman used to say, “Oh yeah, man, that’s the business”.

But this is not merely about a statue. It is about the Christianization of political personality worship, where patriotism is treated like piety, a political leader is framed in near-messianic language, and pastors who should be preaching Paul’s gospel are standing beside golden images explaining why it is not really what your Bible-trained eyes tell you it resembles. The issue is not whether God spared Donald Trump’s life. God is sovereign, and every man’s breath is in His hand. The issue is what men do with that mercy afterward. Do they point sinners to Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Saviour? Or do they build a golden monument to the man, gather a crowd, dedicate it with religious language, and call it a movement? That is where the line is crossed.

This is the Laodicean church in full bloom: rich, political, image-driven, self-celebrating, and completely unable to discern how far it has drifted from New Testament Christianity. The Bible-believing Christian can thank God for preserving a life without turning that life into an icon. We can pray for rulers, as the Scripture commands, without polishing them into golden symbols. We can love our country without confusing America with the kingdom of God.

What happened at Doral is a warning sign. It shows just how deep the merger of evangelicalism, nationalism, celebrity politics, and end-times delusion has become. The pastor says it is not worship. Fine. But the optics are not neutral, the symbolism is not innocent, and the Bible is not silent. A golden image, a political strongman, a religious dedication, a crowd of admirers, and a pastor insisting it is not idolatry. We who believe The book have seen this movie before.

Plannedemic 2.0? Moderna Is Now Working On A New mRNA ‘Vaccine’ For Hantavirus In The Next Strike From The Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex

Moderna Stock Rises On Hantavirus Vaccine News As The Same mRNA Machine That Powered COVID Fear Gets Ready For Its Next Big Pharma Payday

This is the same end times machinery, the same pharmaceutical empire, the same fear-based conditioning system, and the same mRNA platform being warmed up for another run at global compliance. COVID was the rehearsal. Hantavirus, Bird Flu, Disease X, or whatever name they attach to the next medical emergency is just the next act in the same production. Don’t let them memory-hole COVID and rewrite what happened. Don’t let them pretend their draconian mandates were harmless, the deaths unavoidable, the injuries were imaginary, the censorship was justified, or the fear campaign was noble. And when they do it again, this time don’t comply.

“So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.” 2 Kings 4:40 (KJB)

The COVID vaccines were rushed, oversold, politically weaponized, and forced upon millions of people through mandates, threats, job loss, travel restrictions, censorship, social shaming, and spiritual intimidation. Churches were closed. Small businesses were crushed. Families were divided. Doctors were silenced. Dissenters were branded as dangerous. NTEB lost our Facebook page with a quarter-million followers for reporting the truth. And after all that, the same people who told you to “trust the science” now want you to trust them again as they prepare the next mRNA product for the next outbreak narrative. That is not medicine, that’s psycological conditioning. This is exactly the type of system the last days would produce: a world trained to surrender bodily autonomy, economic freedom, travel rights, speech, employment, and conscience whenever a centralized authority declares an emergency.

The world is being trained to accept a new priesthood: unelected health officials, pharmaceutical executives, military-linked researchers, media gatekeepers, and global-policy managers who believe they have the right to decide what goes into your body, where you may go, what you may say, and whether you may participate in society.

Moderna saw a rise in Thursday morning trading after announcing positive Phase 1 data for its mRNA hantavirus vaccine. The results showed the vaccine was well-tolerated and generated strong immune responses across all dose levels, a significant finding given the absence of an FDA-approved hantavirus vaccine. source

The Mark of the Beast does not arrive in a vacuum. It arrives in a world already trained to obey. It arrives in a world already taught that personal liberty is selfish, that resistance is dangerous, that bodily submission is civic virtue, and that access to normal life can be turned on or off by a government-approved system. COVID taught the world the language of Antichrist government: comply or be excluded.

The same generation that mocked Bible believers for warning about global control then watched the whole world lock down in a matter of weeks. They watched vaccine passports appear. They watched people lose their jobs for refusing a medical product. They watched censorship become public policy. They watched buying, selling, traveling, worshipping, and working become conditional. And now, here comes another outbreak headline, another mRNA opportunity, another biotech stock jump, another “urgent need,” another reminder that the deadly machine was never dismantled. The child of God should not be afraid — but he had better not be asleep.

Friday Is Day 2,244 Of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, And Our Countdown Still Stands As A Warning That The Same Dark Globalist Playbook Is Waiting To Be Used Again

They told us it would be ’15 days to flatten the curve’, and the whole world watched as that little phrase became the doorway into lockdowns, mandates, masks, closures, censorship, digital tracking, social conditioning, vaccine passports, emergency powers, and a level of government control most people would have called impossible just a few weeks earlier. But it happened. Not in some distant dictatorship. Not in a prophecy conference illustration. It happened in real time, in broad daylight, in front of everyone while we all watched, and it’s going to happen again. This is why we’ve kept counting.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we here at NTEB started a countdown dating back to March 16th of 2020, and it is a countdown denoting the fact that the global end times events that were put in place on the eve of the lockdown have not stopped, nor will they stop. March 16, 2020 was the day the curtain was pulled back and the world got a glimpse of how fast freedom can disappear when fear is weaponized. One phrase, repeated by politicians, media outlets, corporations, health agencies and tech platforms, became the key that opened the door to emergency rule. And once those rulers tasted that tantalizing ’emergency power’, they’re not giving it up quickly, or easily. That’s why we kept counting. The world wants you to move on. The media wants you to forget, the system wants you trained for the next command, but we who believe are called to watch and warn a lost and dying world preparing itself for Antichrist. For 6 years we’ve been warning you, and it looks like they’re trying it again, this time with the Hantavirus, endless wars in the Middle East, a collapsing economy, sky-high gas prices and talks of alien invasions. Today we bring you what the world has in store, and you won’t like it one, little bit.
